Regarding the Clad spending Humans anyway! 
I was up early and was fixing to go on a Big Lake Water Hunt for gold, we had the second highest waves recorded roll through here Friday, but they dumped more sand than swept it out...I drove around from pier to pier, glassing the shoreline, looking for a cut on a profitable stretch to crawl into...I wasted an hour and a half hopelessly searching..
And, as you can see, it was pretty danged cold to boot..[attachment 302264 nov214-1.jpg]
So I finally said 'tahellwiddit' and drove around some of the local High Schools. Watching my odometer, and figuring how much gas I've burned, and how much loot it would take to break even...The third school, had the gate to the field wide open, it has always been a good place for me, but I was not expecting much seeings how everybody now a days dont use clad no more...But, a fellow has to go check it out, so I fired up the F70 at 56 sens, -3 thresh, 4disc, DP tones, and In I went!...I immediately hit a massive 10 Q spill in front of the concession area! So I settled down to a clad grab...[attachment 302265 nov214.jpg]
Got 120 coins for $18.40 with nothing but a screwdriver and a nail apron in a few short hours. Monetarily speaking, its worth more than finding an oz. of silver.
I figured with all these Q's, I'd hit a dollar coin sooner or later, which I did, and it was no surprise...the highlight was the fresh JFK half...as well as a few tight spills that needed an unraveling...thats about it, just a really fun morning sweeping up clad with the F70 I thought I'd share with my fellow Fisher Swishers....its about my favorite way of hunting, and if a guy does the math, probably more profitable on a daily basis than hunting for gold in the cold cruel surf...Rosie consumed less than 2 gallons, so it turned out to be a positive day financially...which is a rare event, and makes a fellow feel sort of good! A couple old guys my age showed up that worked there, so I walked over and we talked a bit, they had NO problem with what I was doing, seeings how I wasnt digging any holes, just stabbing away with the driver and all, they figured it was good for the grass and they wouldnt have to run the plugger or pick up as much trash...
. I'll get back in here over Thanksgiving break for jewelry, but today it was nothing but stabbing good solid coins for me..which is fun!
